I wish I had a picture of how unprofessional my nails were done, but they fell off within 2 hours of getting them done. I walked in to them across the store on their phones, stood at the front for 5 minutes, and very loudly had to address them to be serviced.
I got acrylics that most nail artists (even beginners) should be able to do. 3 plain nails and the other two with a french tip and a star design.
I don't remember who it was (I think Kimberley) but she roughly cut and filed my nails, causing them to go red and the ends look like they were ripped off. She trimmed my cuticles and ended up ripping them out so hard my nails were bleeding.
Halfway through was the first time they mentioned that they could only take cash. I was visiting from out of state, so I didn't have cash on me.
Anyways, the nails were also cut uneven and at different lengths. The person I went with had them cut so poorly they're shorter than her actual nails and has been cut multiple times. The french tips were off center and also poorly painted on.
We figured, oh well, you win some and you lose some. Mine were 80$ and the design I wanted wasn't even complete. She couldn't do the star so I pivoted to a diamond. I explained it, drew it on paper, on my nail, and pulled up multiple pictures and she couldn't figure it out. It ended up being a circle with lines. It looked juvenile so I decided to just have the french tips.
Also, she put polish underneath the nails after scratching them like you're supposed to assist in adhering to the nails after scratching. The polish completely voids that because it creates a smooth surface that the glue can't hold to.
We left and I took a nap because of jet lag and when I woke up 3 of them were loose and then I moved my hand and they came right off. How does that happen? I wear press ons stronger.
Within 10 minutes all but one was off, and all I did was stand up and show someone they came off. The final one came off in the car and left my nail red for hours.
By then it was closed and I had an appointment the next morning. We went in and asked for a refund. They refused despite the onslaught faced. Their manager said no and they called the owner who was overseas who said absolutely not. It was either getting them redone or a gift card.
We're leaving town so we don't have time or opportunity to use the card.
"Give it to family or friends"
Why would they want to get their nails done here?
We spent 20 minutes trying to get a refund and finally settled on the gift card since it wasn't worth the time. And they took the nails (I collected all of them since they came off so quickly, they didn't get lost) so I couldn't even put them back on like drug store press ons. 80$ nails and I don't even get to keep the mediocre nails that took over an hour. (Honestly not sure I'd want to wear them though) read more
